The actual question is if Andrei/Walter are interested at all in this.
Because they didn't show any interest so far. D will probably be
doomed to compile time bug-typing I mean duck-typing forever.
There's an embarrassment of riches when it comes to finding stuff to
work on for D2. I think we need to resign ourselves to the idea that we
need to focus only on one subset of the stream of good ideas that are
being proposed.
That's understandable of course.
FWIW I was keen on structs interacting in interesting ways with
interfaces (and submitted a number of enhancements in that directions)
but then realized there are a number of problems that structs/interfaces
cannot solve. I believe that a better path to pursue in checking
interface conformance is via reflection.
That's a possible solution (and an easy way out to get rid of language
design problems), but I'm sure it's not the best solution. (It also
should be a little bit extended to give the user better error messages.)
I hope cleaner solutions will be considered later, possibly after D2 is
done.
Which are the problems you mentioned?
Andrei
